Can a common supplement shrink fatty liver in a rare diabetes?

This trial tests whether taking coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for 12 weeks can reduce fat buildup in the liver of people with mitochondrial diabetes, a rare form of diabetes caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. Participants with the m.3243A>G mutation will take 300 mg of CoQ10 daily, and liver fat will be measured using a non-invasive ultrasound technique. The study also compares baseline characteristics among mitochondrial diabetes patients, type 1 diabetes patients, and healthy controls to better understand the link between mitochondrial defects and liver fat.
